Seems obvious to me and possibly others.

You've continually moaned about VM, have contacts in higher management of VM which you have used to get a better deal, consulted solictors ete, etc.

Eventually it always comes back to bite you. Why don't you contact your VM management contacts to get the answer to your question?

Why not?

From my time on these forums, it seems you love to moan about Virgin Media, if memory serves me right you were moaning about them the time the V6 was launched and people were saying similar like move to a different provider. Yet here we are and your excuses of why you cant leave are ones that have happened in the past year, like being in a contract or you've paid the line rental saver, yet you had plenty of chances to leave, yet you keep signing up to different things to make you stay. If it was that bad that I had to have a solicitor to send a letter to VM, I'd be gone in a shot.

Your comments have got nothing to do with the topic of this thread :confused: The OP started this thread to discuss the removal of the UKTV channels, not the relationship that I have with VM, either in the past or present.

In addition, if my posts concern or upset you that much, put me on ignore- job done.

Had a feeling that was coming. So if my comments have nothing to do with the the thread, why did you mention why you couldn't leave or is it ok for you to go off topic but not me.

What with this, the continual pushing of Virgin Mobile, the emphasis on 'on-demand' and the signing up of Comedy Central / Nickelodeon but only as mobile apps, I'm wondering if Liberty Global / Virgin Media are only really worried about slanting their offering even more in that direction.

Kick the linear channels to the side (hence UKTV not being seen as being as important now), but focus on building up a bank of services, channels and programming for customers to access on their V6 boxes and their mobile phones.

(Not sure I'd be wanting to venture into a battle with the likes of Netflix, Amazon and the like, but horses for courses, I guess. And given my current preferences, that'd be something else that'd make me more inclined to switch to Sky at present...)

Yes, I think that is exactly what's going on and I know that some are not comfortable with that. However, I think they will be proved right in the longer term. In the short term, they will get some flak, and the UKTV adventure is evidence of that!

Because somebody wanted clarification. Basically, I shall run my affairs as I see fit, just as I assume that you do.

Interesting, I wonder if this is what the senior engineer was referring to when I had my V6 installed after I asked if there was anything similar to Sky Q where people could watch channels away from the main TV.

And if you make your affairs public knowledge on a forum, I will comment on them. If you believe the question was off topic that also means your answer was off topic. If you don't want to give me an answer, you don't have to reply.

Do you have anything pertinent that you wish to contribute regarding the UKTV or ITV channels on the Virgin Media television platform?
